Seriously, I love your writing so much. It's so interesting to read and there is a lot of words to make everything that much more interesting to read. You put a lot of detail into the drawing, but I wish there was possibly a background so you would have stretched the Extra limit as far as you could get it; however, you did draw an entire house. That shows a lot of effort. More shading for it would have been nice as well, but I can still really enjoy seeing it in the form. I just really want to tell you how much I love that you made him a doctor. You gave the Plumie passageway to move around and excel from where he is at: any good doctor eventually goes somewhere where he is more needed. Though in the west, we do have a lot of huge incidents- mostly bull riding.

Thanks so much for the critique! Unfortunately, backgrounds are a huge failing of mine- I was going to add one, but it just kinda made it look worse. maybe next time, right?

but thank you so much for your compliments and suggestions. I really love the whole "no form left behind" idea- I've improved more in these last two competitions than in the dozen that preceded them. So thank you so much!

Though the story had a few humorous pieces since I found them kind of silly (PlumeTube and not YouTube), and I really like the idea that the plumie has more to him that just being in the west. Country singing is hard to get into, but I really would have liked more than "Posted one video and became famous." Even if the voice is good, it takes a lot more than one youtube video most of the time to get high up. However, I did like that he changed to singing pop and then back to country. I notice sometimes that pop songs can sound a lot like country. You did go into a nice depth though with the character! Reading it was rather repetitive: "Kieth is... He is..." so maybe a bit more into there would have been nice, and you can check into the fanclub or in the writing forum to get it edited to be easier on the mind to read and more memorable rather than a jumbled list of traits.

Thank you very much for your critique! I really appreciate it. ♥
Yeah, I know country singing is hard to get into, I would have made it harder for him (definitely more than one video), but I kinda had to make sure to keep within the word limit and I also kinda wanted to get to the main point of the story I guess. I dunno, maybe I was thinking that he sang more than one song in his performance and Akinyi just chopped that one video up into several different videos and then put them on PlumeTube later or something. X3
I always get caught on the whole he is or [name] is thing. X3 I've never felt that confident when it comes to writing out personalities. I can see how I want them to act in situations and things, know what they'd be like, but sometimes I just have a hard time putting those ideas out there, let alone in a way that doesn't sound like a list sometimes. So, I'll definitely make sure to improve more when it comes to my personality writing. :3

Also, did you have any critique on my art for my form? Or did you feel like there was nothing really special about it/nothing to say about it? ^^;

I have to admit, this is my first time being in a contest that was a "no form left behind" and I'd honestly never heard of it before this contest.

Gosh I never ask about this and I'm quite honestly afraid to now, but do you think that you might give out RUs for this contest? Or no?

[CompleteCuriosity]

Thanks so much for the critique! I really get what your saying. I had a bit of a hard time coming up with a super unique personality for him, I guess I wanted him to be a generic cowboy.
And I love Pete a little more too, I suppose XD
I really liked how Beatnik put the good and bad parts of people's forms, and gave everyone a tip!
Everyone had really awesome forms!

[Master of Nothing]

Thank you so much for the tips! Yes, I understand what you mean with all your critique. I don't think a background would be the best option for the art though, so thanks for giving me another suggestion as well! It is very helpful and will be helpful in the future! All the forms were super amazing, another good luck to all!

Ooops, that's my bad. XD Most of these I did really late at night (Friends came over and we played a card game, but I told you guys I'd have the judgings up.). I fell asleep through the first half and then I went through all of them again this morning. I actually really liked your art when I saw it in the fanclub! I guess my only issue with it is that you had ground, but then no sky or anything behind it. So it looked maybe a little unfinished? It's still very nice to look at though and I can see you put a lot of effort into it. So add a sky and then maybe shading on the ground where the plumies are along with the fence. Someone pointed out that the shoulder is a bit too high, but I wouldn't know since I've only played guitar for a year and I haven't played since. nwn" I'm not exactly big enough to play a normal sized guitar (I had a kid's guitar)

[Rabbitheart]

It's alright. X3 I understand. :3
The reason I didn't "finish" the background is because I wasn't sure what would be seen from that angle. I'm not too great when it comes to perspective (I'm pretty much a self-taught artist) and rooms or outdoors, so I wasn't sure whether there would be more grass or if it'd be sky, so I sort of decided to play it safe and left it blank. X3
Yeah, I suppose the shoulder may be a bit high, however, I didn't think it was too high considering the fact that my reference for the pose was this. So I thought it was sort of right, so I didn't try to fix it too much.
And I have a kid's guitar too, so I wouldn't know either...not to mention the fact that I used it left-handed. X3

But anyways, thank you very much for the critique! I'm very glad you liked it! I really enjoyed drawing it and I now instantly regret having not "finished" the background. X3


Good luck everyone, I can't wait to see who wins. :3

[Beatnik]

Also, no, there will not be runner ups. Sadly I am not a full time artist and cannot give them.

Will you post results tonight? I wouldn't ask, normally, but I might not have computer access for the next couple of days.

Probably. nwn I have a good idea of who is getting the plume, but I just want second opinions first.

ok, cool! depending on whether I make the bowling team or not I'll either have a ton of time or no time at all for the next couple of months, so I was just wondering.
